Ferric Fluoride Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Anhydrous Ferric Fluoride, Ferric Fluoride Trihydrate), By End-Use (Ceramics, Chemical, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Ferric fluoride also known as Iron (III) Fluoride, an inorganic compound derived from Iron. Iron (III) Fluoride is a water insoluble Iron compound which acts as source of iron for use in oxygen-susceptible uses, like metal production. The compound is found in two forms named anhydrous and trihydrate. The anhydrous ferric fluoride is white in color whereas the trihydrate is pink in color.  The compound is anti-ferromagnetic and hygroscopic in nature. The anhydrous ferric fluoride is prepared by treating any anhydrous iron compound with Fluorine. It is widely used to produce ceramics and derive other chemicals.

The increasing demand for ceramics from end-use sectors like Aerospace, Building and Construction, and medical is expected to drive the market for ferric fluoride.  Moreover, the use of ferric fluoride and its derivatives in cross-coupling reactions particularly the biaryl compounds is expected to create positive impact on the market.

However, the compound is acutely toxic in nature and highly corrosive and can cause severe burns and eye damage which can hamper the market growth.
